Cleansing is arguably the most important step in any skincare routine, so it’s essential to know how to wash your face properly to achieve maximum radiance. With the right face wash and a little know-how, it’s easy to get the most out of your cleansing routine. Get ready to unlock the glowing complexion you’ve always dreamed of!
How To Clean Your Face In 5 Steps
When you have your chosen cleanser to hand (more on that below), it’s time to discover how to clean your face for radiant results!
Step 1: Remove makeup
If you’ve been wearing makeup, it’s best to remove it using the double cleansing method and our Foaming Micellar Cleansing Water. Simply sweep a cotton pad soaked in micellar water over the face.

Step 2: Apply
Take a generous amount of your chosen cleanser in your hands and gently apply it to the skin. Another great tip on how to wash your face? Take particular care around the delicate eye area!
Step 3: Massage
It’s by no means essential if you’re short of time, but cleansing offers the perfect opportunity to give the face a gentle massage. Work the product into the skin in circular motions, massaging along the jaw, cheekbones, forehead, and neck.
A light facial massage is a great way to reduce puffiness by stimulating circulation and lymphatic drainage.
Step 4: Rinse
We love the gently exfoliating properties of a damp muslin cloth, but feel free to use whatever cloth or flannel you prefer!
Run the cloth under warm water and begin to remove the cleanser from the face. Use a different part of the cloth for each area of the face. When all the product is removed, splash your skin with cold water to close the pores.
Step 5: Tone and moisturise
How you care for your face after cleansing is just as important as the act of cleansing itself! To brighten the complexion and lock in moisture, follow up with your favourite toner and moisturiser.
We recommend using Sanctuary Spa Daily Glow Radiance Tonic followed by our Supercharged Hyaluronic Face & Neck Crème for radiant, ultra-hydrated skin.
